PROSPECTUS. This company is established for the purpose of acquiring 'the business and connections of ex sting provincial Bank ing Establishments and of carrying on, generally, the opera tions of Country Banking on the Joint -Stock principle. Treaties are now pending for the purchase of some private and joint-stock country establishments, which will form the basis of a large and flourishing bank ; and, for that purpose, lull powers for the increase of capital have been taken in the Articles of Asso iation. It is not proposed to do any banking business in London ; but in addition to acquiring the goodwill and business con nections of crating- banks, i is intended to open branches in proving ial cities and towns where, owing to the increase of wealth and population, a satisfactory business can be esta blished. The recent amalgamation * of tw) of the largest private 1 banks in London with joint. stock establishments, following other combinations of a similar nature, and the continuous advance in the pl ice of banking shares generally, afford con clusive evidence of the advantages of the principle of joint stoek association in bankfmg business. If the system of banklng carried on by public companies is admitted to be so attia - ntageous in London, where the pri vate establishments are generally large and wealthy, it can not be a matter of doubt that the principle is still more ap • plicable to the collntry, where the resources and credit of private firms are much more limited. The increase, also, of trade in the coi - ,ntry genera whilea crea ed a demand for fur ther banking accommodation it is only in the metro polis that ',he requirements of the mercantile community have been adequately considered. The Sl,,ares of the three Banks in London constituted for Sb nitar objects are now quoted as follows, viz.:— Paid. Present P r i ces. The National Pr ov i nc i al £l2 .. X 4 The London and C ounty The Provincial B an k cf Ireland 25 .. 93 In further illustration of Ihe profitable character of the business of the forty-one Joint-stock Banks established dur ing the past th ree years, it will be found on inspection of the official list that, out of that number, the shares of all but two are saleable at a considerable advance on their paid-up Capital. i'rospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the Temporary Office of the Company, or of the Brokers or Sol citors. The Articles of Association may be seen at the Office of the Solicitors. ....._____ THE PROVINCIAL BANKING co tiPOR A.TION (Limited).

This Company is established to carry out, on ':.e. impor tant scale, the manufacture of steel under Aasseraer's or (other patents, to construct steel ordnan:, :steel shot and shell, draw steel wire, manufacture steam engines, boilers, and all kiwi ro .".nufacture and erect .s of machinery and im plements for mining, manufacto::mg, and agricultural pur poses, and to carry on the bil e i neee of engineers and mill wrights, at Tavistock, in 'ate county of Devon. The Directors have entered into an agreement for the Purchase, on terms' favourable for the Company, of the pre mises, machiners, plant, stock in trade, patent rihts and goodwill of t'ae business of Messrs. Gill and Comps y, Engtneers and Iron-founders, of Tavistock, whose works Lave been successfully cateled on for the last sixty years, And who have long since establised a rep for the exc ellence of their manufacture of steam engines utation and boilers, chains, ham mered iron, edge tools, and every description of mining and other m ac hi nery. The property consists of about thirteen acres of land, held under a long lease from the Duke of Bedford, and Comprises, besides the ground devoted to the works, a com _tenable mansion w i t h plantations and grounds, a house for rthe manager, and cottages and gardens for the workmen, all of which are let at remunerative rentals. There is also never -failing water-power, maintained a t th e cost of the Duke of B edford, sufficient' to carry on all the operations of the Cr.smp an y, and by means of which great economy and a Pr 4portionate increase of profit is secured. f'he property and business thus purchased include several iNluable patent rights and contracts; amongst others a very Advantageous contract for the extensive manufacture of .Crease's Pneumatic Tunnelling Engines, which are destined to effect a complete revolution in the scientific working of mines; also a licence on favourable terms to manufacture the Blakely guns,_ fur which p ro fi ta b le contracts can be im mediately obtained. Other very important contracts, which the board consider will alone produce a good dividend to 'the shareholders, have been provisionally secured, and will be completed as soon as the Company is in a position to undertake them. The Directors only consider it necessary to allude to the largo profits realised by the manufacture of steel (which at the present cost of its manufacture ultimately take the place 'of iron in most instances), and the remunerative business of manufacturing steel ordnance, shot, and shell, for foreign Governments, to satisfy the shareholders that handsome dividends will be realised. The premises are easily accessible by canal from Ply mouth Sound, and by railway from all other parts of the kingdom, and being situated in the midst of a prosperous and constantly increasing mining district, a large amount of business with mines can be ensured. The Company will take possessio n of the 3 0th of Ap r il, 1861, an d are to be entitled to th works on the rofits o Messrs. Gill an d C o. ' s b usiness since the 30th of September, 1863, as well as the benefit of all contracts entered into since that date. No promotion money whatever will be paid.

The object of this Association is to promote and en courage the monetary, financial, and industrial undertakings of the kingdom of Italy. 2. Whilst the territorial and commercial development of Italy has been so great, and has lately been so much en. larged under the influence of the constitutional system of government, and the recent liberal treaties of commerce, capital is imperatively required for the development of the vast material resources of the kingdom. 2, There are few countries which present so extensive and profitable a field for the safe and remunerative employ ment of capital. 4. A very important operation will at once recommend itself to the attention of the directors, and one which will be within the province of the Association—the negotiation with the Italian Government for the proposed sale of the Crown lands. 6. The operations will embrace—the negotiation of Go vernment and municipal loans; advances upon all securities affording adequate guarantees, and financial accommodation to the concessionaries of, or other parties interested in rail way and other important public works. These works are frequently undertaken by local municipalities whose en gagements are guaranteed by the isssue of obligations or debentures, secured on their revenues. These securities have always sustained their value in the monetary marlfets. 6, lAs an evidence of the rapid advance which Italy has made in her trade and commerce, it is shown by the official reports that the declared value of the imports and exports of the kingdom now amounts to upwards of 80 millions sterl 18 B.sing, being an i ncrease o f £2 0,000,000 beyond the value in 7. An association of this nature so much required, and being introduced upon a scale commensurate with the great resources of the Kingdom of Italy, will be most favourably received by the Government, as well as by the commercial community. 8. Important relations have already been established with influential banking houses and cnpitalibts in Italy, with a view to the immediate commencement of the busi ness of the Association. 9. The seat of Administration will be in London. 10. In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the deposit will be returned in full. Shr uld a less number of shares be allotted than is applied for, the deposit will he made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance (if any) returned to the applicant. obtainedProspeat the temporary offices of th e C ompany, from the _ FORM OF APPLICATI ON FOR SHARES.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. This Company is formed to carry out up nn a much enlarged scale the operations of two well-established and lucrative businesses, hitherto tracing as the Imperial Wine Company and the International Wine Company The object of these businesses has been, by means of their numerous connections amongst wine merchants, grocers, (tc., throughout the country, to supply wines direct from the growers, and to give to the consumer the immediate advan tage in price and quality which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer placed witvin their reach by reducing the duties upon forei n wines and licenses for sale thereof. The entire business connectio as of these existing eitab ments in full profitab e working order, have been most ad vantageously purchased ; and in proof of the bona fide nature of the undertaking, three-fourths of the whole purchase money for stock, fixtures, and goodwill, will be paid in shares of the new Company. The vendors will continue to assist in its management, and the threctors have themselves sub s ribed for a large proporti n of the first issue of shares. Directors' remuneration to be one-tenth of the net profits. One h gh y remunerative feature of this Company wi.l con sist in the powers which h ye been taken to employ surplus Capital in advances upon wine and spirit warrants, &c, A copy of the Articles of Association may be seen at the offices of the Company, and Prospectuses, with Forms of Application for Shares obtained at the Broker., Solicitors, or Secretary. N.B.—The scope afforded for this Company may be illus trated by the simple fact that since the new vendors of wines have been tailed into existence by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer's legislation , t e annual consumption has increased nearly two-told upon ordinary -wines, and three-fold upon Cheap French wines—vide the Chancellor a last Budget.

PROPECT US. The Eastern Exchange Ba S nk (Limited), is formed to supply a want which has been long felt, and its value will be immc diate:y recognised. Although Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import trade, and is the port through which the valuable manufac tures ( f Lancashire and Yorkshire pass, it h(s not a single Bank connected w,th the Mediterranean, the East Indies, China, or Australia. The exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures to the above countries for the year 1863 amounted to about forty millions, and by far the greater portion was shipped from Liverpool, whilst the produce received in return into Liverpool was of a va ue of upwards of sixty millions, making a total of one hundred mill;ons sterling. Whilst London has up war d s o f fifty Banks, with branches in different countries, established for the purpose of affording every facility in Exchange transactions, there is no Bank of this description, with i s head-quarters in Liverpool, con nected with the East. The profitable nature of Exchange business is we'l known, and the practice which has become so general of attaching Bills of Lading to Bills of Exchange renders this the safest description of Banking business. Some evidence of the safety and profitable character of the business is afforded by the present values of the undermen tioned Banks, whose chief sources of profits are in connection with Exchange operations, Paid up Present Share.

Branch Banks will be firmed, in the first instance, at Alexandria, Bombay, Calcutta, China, and Australia, and as the business develops, at other places. The Directors of the Eastern Exchange Bank will make arrangements for Lou ion business, constituting a first-c:ass London Banking Agency on mutually advantageous terms. 1 he business of the Bank will chiefly consist in negotiating mercantile bills of exchange, granting drafts, in negotiating and collecting bi , ls payable at places where the Bank has Branches or Agencies. It will issue circular notes and let ters of credit, will undertake the purchase and sale of secu rities, the receipt of dividends, and effect remittances between the several places, including London, at which its Agencies and Branches will be established. The Bank is founded under " The Companies A Shareholder 2 is llmiteo to the amount of his Shares. There will be no fee for promotion; the remuneration of the Directors will be fixed by the Shareholders at each annual meeting ; and the preliminary expenses will be eon fin , d to indispensable outlay. The Articles of Association lie at the Office of the Solicitors for inspection. Applications for Shares must be accompanied with a Banker's Receipt for £1 per Share. In case the amount so paid should exceed £3 per Share on the number of Shares allotted, the surplus will be returned; but it it should fall short, the balance must, be paid within seven days after notice of allotment, or in default, the allot ment will be cancelled and the deposit forfeited. If no allotment be made the deposit will be returned in full. Alicaions for Shares may be sent through the Solicitors or Brokers of the Company, from whom Forms of Application may be had.

The rain, which fell copiously during the greater part of Monday evening, rendered the course splendid " going." There was a large influx of metropolitan and provincial visitors on Monday, and in the evening the Subscription room was well attended, but the betting on the Cup was limited. Lord Zetland was the only animal supported with spirit, he being backed at 13 to 1 for £250, whilst The Tippler was entrusted with a " pony" at 40 to 1 by his noble owner. In other respects the quotations received from Tattersall's underwent no change. Tuesday morning was showery till eight o'clock, and the atmosphere appeared threatening until noon, when the sun shone forth brilliantly, and a pleasant breeze blowing made the afternoon's sport very enjoyable. The feature of the morning's betting was the retrogression of Accident, who was disliked by the " horse -watchers" almost to a man. Continued offers of 7 to 1 failing to find customers, an advance of a point over these odds was ventured, upon which Accident had friends, and was firm at Bto 1. Muezzin was not in such good odour, but his stable companion, the Hersey filly, was supported at 11 to 2, Little Stag at 100 to 8. and Canary from 100 to 30 down to 20 to 1, This latter price was taken and offered each about Oldminster and Bacchus. The first race was fixed for 2.15, a ridiculously late hour, and which consequently leit us little or no time to make any comments on the racing, our parcel having to be despatched so early. Four came to the post for the Grosvenor Stakes, Tippler being made favourite at 7 to 4, and the Marquis of Hastings's horse won in a canter. Immediately after the race several of the bookmakers who had in the morning laid long prices against Tippler were so anxious to "get out" that prices ranging from 25 to Ito2o to 1 were taken, The Chesterfield Stakes was a rare turn-up for the fielders, as Capt. Gray's Windham—never once mentioned in the bet ting—bowled over the favourites in hollow style. Four only came to the post for the Mostyn Stakes, which was won easily by Nothing More. The remainder of the running we are unable to comment upon for the reason given above. The Grosvenor Stakes of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 50 added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards; winners extra, and certain allowances. Grosvenor Course, about a mile and a quar ter. 10 subs.

After one " break away" Tippler, Despair, and Stanton came on two lengths in front of Veterinarian for a couple of hundred yards, when Tippler took a clear lead, followed by Stanton, Despair, and Veterinarian, at short intervals, until they arrived three-quarters of a mile from home, when Veterinarian became second and Despair last. A quarter of a mile from home Despair took second place, but could never reach Tippler, who had made all the running after the first 200 yards, and won easily by a length; three parts of a length separated the second and third, and two lengths divided the third and fourth. Before the race 40 to 1 was offered aget Tippler for the Chester Cup, but afterwards 1,000 to 40 having been eagerly accepted he was subsequently supported at 20 to 1.

Worthless, Windham, and Persuasion got off the best, the latter making play with a slight lead to the three-quarter of a mile post, where Macbeth ran past his horses, and Windham dropped away three or four lengths from the leading trio, which comprised Macbeth, Persuasion, and Worthless.

PARIS SPRING MEETING. The running yesterday was favoured with glorious weather, and the company was more numerous than ever. The Imperial stand was occupied by the Empress, Prince Napoleon, the Princess Clotilda, and the Princess Mathilde. The field within the cords and the road between the bridges. of St, Cloud and Suresnes were crowded with vehicles, in cluding a number' of handsome equipages, the Duke de ,Y. forny's splendid scarlet livery being conspicuous among the number. The Poule d'Essai, which, as throwing some light on the probable result of the great events of the year, thus ranking as the Two Thousand Guineas at Newmarket, was the chief event of the day. The Duke de Moray's Bayard, and Count de Lagrange's Fills de l'Air, who had just arrived from England, divided favour pretty equally, but both were very cleverly disposed of by Baron N. colt, Rothschild's Baronello. a remarkably handsome brown c iu l who appeared yesterday in public for the fi rst tirag. Carter, the trainer of the winner, appeare d highly g r atifiedth e at this result, and was warmly congratu lated in en closure. The other events were the prix d'le na, a condi tion of which race is that the horses ar e to be ridden b y French jockeys. This is for tunately the on ly event of t h e kind. After one false start the lot go t away in detach ments, and then Pholoe, w ho was making the running, jumped the cords and disappeared somewhat in the direction of Paris. The winner was M. Schickler's Feu-Greg o i s who praably owed his success to being less b a dl y mounted than the rest, rathe r than to his own me r it.

The second year of the sixth Biennial came next, in which Pergola, the winner on the previous occasion, was not able to repeat her victory, the increased distance being apparently too much. The winner was Guillaume-le-Taciturne, a much stronger horse, who ran third last year, The day's business was brought to a close by a handicap, won by the top weight, Count de Lagrange's Jaraicoton, a 4-yr-old, who was able to give 271 b to several horses of his own age.

At the cascs:cle, however, she bolted and leaped the cords. The running was then made by Mlle. Mignon and Beranger ; but at the stands Feu Gregeois went forward, passed Mlle. Mignon, and won by a short length. Courlie finished a bad third. The Prix de Bagatelle of 2,000 f, for 3-yr-olds and upwards ; entry 50f ; weight fcr age; winners of certain events to b© excluded.

A couple of lengths behind were Bois- Rouissel, with Count de Lagrange's two, Baronello and Genereux ; Golgia, who had got badly off, being last of all. At the plantation Leuctres took first place, but on coming down the hill Fille de l'Air went past her horses and joined Bayard, the two on arriving at the corner being in front. For the moment the race appeared likely to end in a match' between those two, for on nearing the stands Baronello was seen comingup outside, and Fille de l'Air here showing signs of distress Baron Rothschild's horse took her place along side of Bayard, and getting in front a short distance from the post landed a winner by half a length; Fill° de l'Air third, passing two lengths behind Bayard, with Bois-Rous sel fourth, and Glorieux fifth.

By the Author of " St. Olave's."—A new novel, by the author of " St. Olave's," will be warmly welcomed by all the readers of that clever story. " Janita's Cross" is a still more charm ing work. It is characterised by fully as much power, pathos, and truth to nature as " St. Olave's ;" and the chief personages of the tale are even more remarkable for the rare excellence with which their individual characters are developed. Their changing fortunes will be followed to the close with undiminished interest. Janita, herself, the fascinating heroine; the strong-minded old maid, Miss Hepzibath Ruthven ; the manly, energetic Gavin Rivers, and, his treacherous, worldly sister, Noelline ; the faithful, honest-hearted Roy, and his coquettish sweetheart, Bessie Ashton, are portraits that will long live in the reader's memory. THE CONFEDERATE STATES.—The following is an extract from a letter by the wife of a General in the Con federate Service to her friend in Europe—" There are many little things in which our daily life is changed —many luxu ries cut off from the table which we have forgotten to miss. Our mode of procuring necessaries is very different and far more complicated. The condition of our currency has brought about many curious results—for instance, I have just procured leather for our negro shoes by exchanging tallow for it, of which we had a quantity from some fine beeves fattened and killed upon the place. I arn now bargaining with a factory up the country to ex change pork and lard with them for blocks of yarn to weave negro's clothes—and not only negro clothing I have woven, I am now dyeing thread to weave homespun for myself and daughters. lam ravelling up or having ravelled all the old scraps of fine worsteds and dark silks to spin thread for gloves for the General and self, which gloves I am to knit. These home-knit gloves and these homespun dresses will look much neater and nicer than you mould suppose.

Mr Raffles—lf they wish to be brought up they can. Mr. Cobb—No, sir, they would rather not. Mr. Raffies—Oh, very well, Mr. Stephens, from the office of Mr. Alfred S.

Mr. Cobb said, in the absence of the learned counsel, Mr. Deighton, he had again to apply to the magistrate to admit the prisoners to bail. Mr. Raffles intimated that he refused the application.
